The TC Foundation’s Mission
The TC Foundation® stands with the following very worthy causes and will support these and other worthy causes long after Tom is able to do so himself. The intention of the charitable foundation is to expand its support for meaningful causes in the following categories: Military / Contractors, Agriculture, Technology, Energy, Entrepreneurship, Special Needs, and Wellness Research & Solutions.
The world is rapidly evolving and the way we live our lives is constantly changing. As such, many core sectors of society have become increasingly important, and their contributions to our way of life cannot be overlooked.
Military and Contractors are perhaps the most essential elements of any society. They are essential for protecting our nation against external threats, as well as providing security and stability within a given country. Additionally, they are necessary for providing employment to citizens, and make an important contribution to the economy.
Agriculture is a sector that is becoming even more important as the world population continues to grow. It is vital to the production of food, and the development of new methods of food production and distribution are essential in meeting the needs of the global population.
Technology is having an increasingly huge impact on the way we live and work. From digital devices to complex software systems, technology has revolutionized many aspects of life and has allowed for greater communication, productivity, and efficiency.
Energy is another essential component of modern life. The development of renewable sources of energy, such as solar, wind, and hydroelectric power, is essential for providing clean and sustainable energy sources to power homes, businesses, and vehicles.
Entrepreneurs are essential for driving economic growth and development. By creating new companies and products, they are able to create jobs, increase GDP, and expand markets. They also bring fresh ideas and innovation to the market, which helps spur economic growth.
Wellness Research is vital because it contributes to improving public health outcomes by providing scientifically grounded insights and actionable strategies for enhancing individual and community well-being.
Finally, The TC Foundation always maintains support for Special Needs to care for those that need help, but are often overlooked.
